Marquice Cole Has Some Advice for Brad Smith
Posted by Erik Manassy on Nov 1, 2011 in Twitter Conversations | 0 comments
The New York Jets are preparing for a really tough match up this week when they take on the Buffalo Bills away in upstate New York this Sunday. Who would have thought this game would have meant something. One very popular former Jet, Brad Smith, will be facing his old teammates this Sunday and you know he'll have a little extra going.
I saw this funny conversation between Brad and Marquice Cole on twitter last night. They were talking video games but then Quice was telling Brad about the game plan and the "new rules" of the NFL.

This book won a World Fantasy Award. It's remarkable: the stories are rich, fascinating stuff -- creepy and unsettling and phantasmic. Imagine what Tolkien's Lord of the Rings would have been like if Tolkien had tried to tell that story sympathetically from the point of view of the human denizens of Mordor and you'll have the slightest sense of what you're about to wade into ... but only just a sense.
These stories will make the same demands on you that they made… (più)

kphybrid Posts: 4I had the harmonic drone noise too. Once the dealer figured it out (of course, at first they thought I was crazy), it seemed to be a relatively easy fix. Now, however, I am experiencing a clunking noise when shifting into reverse and drive. It used to be occassional and only when shifting into reverse, but now is becoming more frequent and when shifting to drive as well. My dealer tells me this is simply the ABS system being activated, but I'm not buying it. Any thoughts or suggestions?
dochybrid Posts: 1I own a 2005 accord hybrid, and I have the same clunking nose when I shift between reverse and drive; i reported the problem to the dealer and they said it is "normal". Also, when I go from reverse to drive, and accelerate within first gear, i get a vibration through my gas pedal at 10 mph. Does anyone else have these problems with the transmission? Thanks!

Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp. options traders are boosting the price of bearish contracts to the highest level in six years, protecting against losses even if the world's biggest semiconductor maker beats analysts' earnings estimates for a ninth straight quarter tomorrow.
Puts to sell the Santa Clara, California-based company are 1.28 times more expensive than calls to buy, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's the widest difference in the price relationship known as skew since May 2005, the data show.
Concern is rising in options markets after Intel's shares gained 12 percent this year, the second-biggest increase among 18 chipmakers in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index behind KLA- Tencor Corp. The world's biggest semiconductor company lowered its forecast for growth in personal-computer shipments this year after reporting second-quarter results on July 20.
"In this volatile market, if Intel does disappoint what have become perhaps overly optimistic expectations for earnings, the stock could see significant downside," Timothy Ghriskey, who oversees $2 billion as chief investment officer of Solaris Group LLC in Bedford Hills, New York, said in a telephone interview on Oct. 14. "We've seen the put activity increase significantly."
Intel's profit may rise 25 percent to 65 cents a share excluding some items, up from 61 cents four weeks ago, according to the average analyst projection in a Bloomberg survey. The company reported its fifth consecutive quarter of record revenue in July and has beaten analyst earnings estimates eight straight times, according to Bloomberg data.
Outstanding Puts
Seven of the 10 Intel options with the biggest increase in ownership in the past week were puts, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. December puts with an exercise price of $18 had the biggest gain in open interest, adding 32,649 contracts to 35,817. October $23 contracts followed, with 56,128 options.
"The real risk is protecting that downside," Ophir Gottlieb, managing director of client services at San Francisco- based Livevol Inc., a provider of options-market analytics, said in an Oct. 14 telephone interview. "People have realized a fairly large gain in Intel, and now they're just buying the downside protection into earnings."
The market for PC shipments will grow 8 percent to 10 percent in 2011, down from an earlier forecast in the "low double digits," Intel Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini said July 20. The company predicted the shortfall would be mainly in lower-end machines powered by Intel's discount Atom line of microprocessors, according to Otellini.
The VIX, as the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index is known, tumbled 38 percent over the nine days through Oct. 14 for the longest retreat since February 2010. The gauge, which has averaged 20.48 in its 21-year history, fell as the S&P 500 jumped 8.2 percent in the past two weeks, the biggest gain since July 2009. The volatility measure rose 18 percent, the most since Aug. 18, to 33.39 today.
Volatility Decreasing
The volatility gauge fell the most in 19 years in the six trading sessions before New York-based Alcoa Inc. posted results on Oct. 4, a record drop before the start of earnings season, according to data since January 1993 compiled by Bloomberg.
Intel trades for 10.59 times profit in the last 12 months, 8 percent less than the average valuation for chip stocks in the S&P 500. Among analysts who track the shares, 34 rate it "buy," 16 "hold" and five "sell," according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Gross margin, the percentage of sales left after deducting production costs, will be about 64 percent in the third quarter, Intel said in July, up from 60.6 percent in the second quarter. The company had $11.55 billion in cash and short-term investments in the three months ended July 2, higher than 401 nonfinancial companies in the S&P 500.
'Tough Climate'
"Intel has done a great job of running their business in a very tough climate," Wayne Wilbanks, chief investment officer at Wilbanks, Smith & Thomas in Norfolk, Virginia, said in an e- mail yesterday. His firm manages about $1.8 billion. "Margins are near all-time highs and the company is sitting on tons of cash."
Options are implying Intel's shares will rise or fall 4 percent after it reports results, compared with an average gain of 0.9 percent in the past eight quarters, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Intel's implied volatility, the key gauge of options prices, for contracts expiring in three months dropped 24 percent from its Oct. 3 high as the stock rallied. It closed at 30.24 on Oct. 14.
"People might be taking the chance of locking some gains and paying for some protection," Stephen Solaka, who oversees about $50 million including options as co-founder of Belmont Capital Group in Los Angeles, said in a telephone interview Oct. 14. "It's probably a mix of both: people protecting gains given the recent rally, and additionally, earnings," he said.

Selection Announcement Coming Soon!
Entries have closed and our sleep-deprived committee is getting ready to unveil the short comedies chosen to participate in the 2015 event. Check back soon! To see all previous year's programs, including the 2014 winning films, check out our Festival Archives.
Call For Entries Begins August 22nd!
The 4th annual LOL Short Film Festival is launching it's 2015 Call for Entries, inviting filmmakers from around the world to submit comedy shorts. The 2015 LOL Short Film Fest will run March 12, 2015 – May 28, 2015 at movie theatres across the country! Deadline for submissions is Thursday, October 30, 2014 with an extended deadline of Saturday, November 15, 2014. Filmmakers will be notified of their acceptance status by November 26, 2014. Accepted films will be eligible for The Audience Choice Award and Best Short Film.
Laugh Out Loud Short Film Fest accepts online entries submitted via FilmFreeway.com.
Visit our Submission Process page for more information.
And The 2014 Winners Are:
We are thrilled to officially announce the two winners of this year's festival. In an extremely close vote, the winner of BEST SHORT FILM for 2014 is, Don't Miss the Cup, from Lex Filmed Entertainment of London, England. The voting was so close, if we'd had 1 more judge, the outcome could have been different. Our festival's second award for AUDIENCE CHOICE is, Let It Rain, from Australia's Matt Hardie. Let It Rain, was a solid favorite with 23.7% of the overall audience vote (compared to the second place total of 18.4% of votes). Congratulations to both of our winners, and to all of the 11 filmmakers, cast and crew that helped make the 2014 Laugh Out Loud Short Film Festival a success.
Want your short film screened in commercial movie theatres throughout North America? You've come to the right place. An estimated 17,000 short films are produced annually, yet only a tiny fraction ever sees an audience that isn't positioned in front of a computer screen. Sure, traditional short film festivals offer exhibition to an art-house crowd looking for alternatives. But what about the masses? Isn't that what being a filmmaker is all about? What better environment for screening your film than in front of mainstream audiences at commercial movie theatres throughout North America?
THIS is what the LAUGH OUT LOUD SHORT FILM FEST is all about.
"Our festival is truly unique," states Joe Edick, Festival Director. "Most people will never attend a traditional film festival for a variety of reasons – including the time commitment and format. Our fest is packaged to accommodate the average moviegoer's lifestyle. Plus, it's a familiar location and routine. Patrons will buy their concessions and watch our comedy shorts up on the big screen, right where they watched the recent 200 million dollar studio blockbuster."

Car Forums / Saab / Saab 9-3
Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
The Saab 900 is old news but I'd like to create a
new forum for new 9-3 owners. We recently leased a
9-3 in Los Angeles and are looking for relevant
input on your new 9-3's.
We have less than 3k miles on the car but were
still pretty happy with the car. The few minor
problems we've had with the car are: the back of
the front seat was poorly finished w/ the pocket
sagging away from the seat at the time of purchase.
We also hear a popping and crackling sound in the
front passenger seat when someone is sitting in
My wife and I are pretty particular about our cars
and would like your input. I think that Saab
could become a long term marquee in our family but
we want to hear from you other 9-3 owners out there

FREDERICK Posts: 228Any comment from manual shift owners out there. We've a 9-3 auto, since my wife doesn't drive stick. I've read reviews in auto mags that panned the stick as a too tempermental tire burner at the stop light. I'd also like to hear comments from any new owners of the 200 bhp engine. Is there a real difference from the 185 bhp?
goldberger Posts: 58Not an owner of the 9-3 stick, but I own a '91 9000T 5-speed, and have driven '98 900 and '99 9-3 5-speeds. While the 2.0 185 hp 5-speed has more "lag" off the line than the 2.3 200hp in the 9K, describing it as "too tempermental" is grossly inaccurate. And in comparing the two engines, the 2.0 is much smoother than the 2.3, which has a sort of "growl" under hard throttle.
eckdar Posts: 30Am considering leasing a 99 Saab 9-3. Saab is offering great lease rates through Dec 98, a money factor of 0.00092 (2.2%) on the coupe. Am hoping to get some feedback on maintenance costs and resale value. My local mechanic said Saab parts are generally very expensive (he said more so than Jaguar) and that Saabs don't hold value well. He suggested a used BMW 325 or Volvo 850, which I agree are great cars. But monthly payment is an issue for me. I can get into the 9-3 for around $300. Don't think I could get a recent used BMW or Volvo for close to that.
Thanks for any replies. -

Unfortunately, I agree with your mechanic. As the owner and lover of an '88 9000 Turbo, I have found that parts are expensive, and in the midwestern city that I live in, hard to come by. I had the misfortune of having to replace the front fender and related parts this summer. My bodyshop, which works primarily on high dollar cars, said he had good news and bad news for me. The good news was that if he had to pick a car to be in a wreck in, he would pick a Saab. The bad news was, it was also one of the most expensive to fix. We then waited close to a month for the parts to come in.I was in the market for a new car at the time and was going to get another Saab, he begged me not to. My independent mechanic, himself a Saab fanatic, agreed that parts are expensive. However, if you are going to lease, the cost of parts should not be an issue since the warranty should still be good for the length of your lease. -

Thanks for the response.
Does your name "pre bmw" mean that you've decided your next car will be a bimmer? Or did you go with another Saab against your mechanic's wishes?
Read through lots of Saab posts on the sedan conference this am. More confused now. If I get the 9-3 it will replace my 89 Toyota Camry. Exhaust, brakes and oil changes are essentially all I've done to the Camry. Low, inexpensive maintenance is great, but the Camry isn't exactly an exhilirating ride.
For the most part I think people believe (hope) Saab reliability will improve with the 9-3, and that the inconvenience and cost of more frequent maintenance is well worth it.
I've a couple more weeks to decide. Will have the camry checked to see if any substantial cost are looming and go from there. My gut say buy the 9-3. -
bo_chung Posts: 61The lease deal they've got on new Saabs are pretty
good indeed. I am currently leasing a 9-3 SE. Maintenance is no more expensive than a Honda
Accord. My last scheduled service cost me $124.
And why should you worry about parts when you are
leasing. The warranty covers you for 4yr/60K
miles. I assume the lease is for 39mo. -
prebmw Posts: 23eckdar-
I didn't go with either one - I bought a'98 Camry and a New Beetle instead. I love the Beetle and have the same feelings about the Camry that you stated. I would like to get rid of it this summer and get either a Saab or BMW. However, I live in Springfield, Mo. and would need to go over almost 200 miles to the nearest Saab dealer. Because of past experiences getting parts, I haven't been able to convince myself to go with another Saab, even though I would very much like to. -
FREDERICK Posts: 228Thanks for the interest in the new Saab 9-3 forum.
My wife and I leased a 98 9-3 auto last Aug. and we're both still extremely pleased with the car. I find the turbo lag to be a bit slow but then I'm used to V-8's.
I love the acceleration of the 2.0 turbo but I am a little disappointed with the fuel economy of our auto equiped car. My 82' Lincoln Mark with a 5.0L engine gets nearly the same of better highway mileage. -
FREDERICK Posts: 228Yes,in fact this weather radio has come in handy believe it or not. The radio will find what ever local weather radio is available as you travel. We live in CA so weather is not so much a factor in our lives unless we're traveling North during the Holiday season over the Grape Vine. Driving this road during the winter time the weather can often be problematic so having forwarning about the road conditions allows us to take the costal route up Highway 101 instead. To be truthful I mostly use the weather radio to check the local surf report.
eener Posts: 12I test drove the 9-3. Loved it, and it did not take very many blocks know I could be a happy owner. Now I am in the price/features/debate. The dealer has too many Saabs on his lot. (as do others around the nation - I have been told Saab Corp. loaded up dealers)
Anyone purchased one recently? Willing to share selling price? Should I be able to get a much beter deal with cash? Any comments about resale?
Enthused about doing this, unsure of what I should pay.
Thanks, Karin -
FREDERICK Posts: 228eener-
Your question about resale value was quite pertinent. This was one of the major factors in our determining to lease our 9-3 instead of purchasing. Back in Aug. Edmunds listed the Saab 9-3 as a Gold Star Lease meaning that with all factors taken into consideration the Saab lease ended up costing just 2%.
At 2% interest rate we determined it was a whole lot of car for the money even though Nissan,and Toyota were practically dying to give us a car at very low, low or no interest rates if we'd just sign up for a purchase. This was not the same for Saab at the time so we determined that we'd lease the car and see if the Saab unique character and utility factors wore well with us over time and in three years if the rather high risidual value, at least in my opinion, that Saab assigned to their leases didn't infact give us a better value for our money over purchasing at a much higher interest rate. -
goldberger Posts: 58The 9-3 "S" (or is it "base"), iirc, comes with michelin MXV4 "V" rated tires. Consumer Reports recently rated tires in this general category, and stated that the MXV4 "H" rated tires had pretty good snow traction. That would make them suitable , imo, for light to moderated snow in flat, urban areas (where snow removal is practiced).
The "SE" comes with performance tires, and it is a very bad idea to use them in the snow.
While there has been a lot of activity in the Snow Tire category by many of the major tire makers, the majority of true died-in-the-wool Saabists continue to recommend the Finnish made Nokian Hakkapallita snow tires http://www.snowtyres.com . These tires, however, are often not locally available. If that is an issue for you, I've found the Dunlop HSxx tires to be pretty good also.
Saab dealers have access to the Swedish made "Gislaved" line through Saab's parts distribution network. Many people have recommended them, but the ones I got (a decade ago) proved to be inadequate. -
eener Posts: 12Thanks for the comments about 9-3 tires.
Does anyone have experience with purchasing a Saab from Garf Motors in Salt Lake City, UT or Gary Small in Portland OR? I will be traveling to Utah this week and could shop there.
Is 3% over real invoice what I should expect to pay for the 9-3? I am on the verdge of deciding to buy one this week. I want to know what to pay before I start the final process.
thanks, Karin -
rfellman Posts: 109I just bought a Saab 9-3 with power roof, cd and auto for about 800 over invoice. Unfortunately, I was a little off guard when the Saab dealer offered such a price. You see I had become used to being jacked around by BMW and Audi dealers who felt MSRP was their entitlement for selling a car in demand. The Saab 9-3 is definitely the best value when compared to a BMW 323i or an Audi A4 1.8 or 2.8 quattro.
I think if you are willing to haggle aggressively, the dealers will go lower than 3% above invoice on a 9-3. Which is pretty darn good on anear luxury car in my considerable experience. I think the 9-3 is a buying opportunity for a smart shopper looking for relative value by brands.
I grew up in NE blizzards and despite being deeply appreciative of the inherent BMW handling and breaking attributes, I just could not imagine spending that much on a car that was not all weather rated. The Audis were wonderful but lacked any real room and the dealers told me they had a quota and they had to maximize profits on available inventory so no discounts on current model year vehicles.
Bottom line, the Saab impressed me after about 3/10 of a mile. The BMW only impressed me when I tool it out on the interstate. The Audi was nicer than my living room. It really came down to value between a Saab 9-3 and an Audi 1.8. Quattro. I just felt, for the price of the loaded quattro, I could buy an all wheel drive Durango SLT Plus. Since Audi would/could not guarantee timely delivery, I could only shop their lot and those cars were designed for lease (loaded). I love the 9-3. I will drive to Omaha in a wek and then need to have it serviced for the 1000 mile oil and filter change. What else do they do at 1000 miles.
I drove a Toyota Camry before the Saab. Never again. If you are fortunate enought to have the income, buy a performance oriented car. It makes you feel young again and isn't that what anyone over 35 enjoys? -
FREDERICK Posts: 228Question? My wife noticed in our service handbook that the 9-3 has a recommended oil change interval of every 5,000 miles. We live in Los Angeles and I'm more used to oil changing every 2,500-3,000 miles. We've had our first sevice by the dealer already and now are approaching 4,000 miles. What is or has been anyone's experience with oil changing on Saabs?
goldberger Posts: 585000 miles is, iirc, the "severe duty" interval, with 10,000 miles (!) being the "easy duty" interval.
I have used 4000 miles as my change interval decades, after observing when checking the valves that a 5000 mile interval resulted in "etching" on the back side of the cam. I extend my 4000 miles/4 months conventional oil interval to 6000 miles/4 months with synthetics. In Europe, where oil is much more expensive (as is fuel) some are stretching the interval to 12,000 miles, using synthetic oil, with no ill effects. -
FREDERICK Posts: 228What should we expect on minor body repair for Saabs. My wife lightly scraped a pole in her parking garage last week and came home nearly in tears. She loves her new car and couldn't even look at it for several days after the incedent. I told her to calm down a bit and we'd think about fixing it after she'd had a little while to asorb the damage. We have many good and capabable "Saab" body shops here in L.A. but should we just take it back to our dealership and let them "professionally" repair our vehicle?

Centennial High School buries time capsule
LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Centennial High School marked their history Saturday morning by placing a time capsule at the center of their campus.
The five-foot tall capsule will be opened in 25 years.
"We put a lot of stuff in there from our cross country team the band different sports at the moment it has a lot of stuff in there," said Sofia Bali, a sophomore at Centennial.
The time capsule was filled with photos of students, an album of the school's construction and the scissors used during the official ribbon cutting ceremony.
Students said everybody at the school was well represented.
"It was really nice that our principal really included everybody when he was doing this time capsule," said Nicolette Young. "He included all the sports teams and I'm in student government so we got to include a ticket to our dance."
The time capsule also included some present-day technology.
"I think having the iPod in there is pretty cool cause in 25 years they are probably not going to use iPods or anything close to that so they won't know what to do with it," Bali said.

AHMEDABAD: For years they have quenched the thirst of shopaholics. But for now the spotlight seems to be moving away from these sought after retail destinations of Ahmedabad - CG Road and SG Highway. A realty consultancy report points out that while rental in erstwhile high streets like SG Highway and CG Road saw a marginal increase of 4 to 6 per cent, for Prahaladnagar and Law Garden it jumped to over 20 per cent on year-to-year basis.
Even in malls, renting out a shop in Maninagar today has become costlier than one at SG Highway where the mall vacancy is over 50 per cent, says a report by Cushman & Wakefield. Mall space rental rate for Maninagar is Rs 65 per square feet while it's Rs 47 for SG Highway, as per the report.
Interestingly, Vastrapur bags the berth for having the most expensive mall space in the city. Ahmedabad at present has 14 operational malls covering a total space of 4.56 mn square feet.
"Rental values in Prahladnagar increased by 24% over the year followed by 20% in Law Garden as retailers have chosen the main street locations in these areas over malls. Existing high vacancy levels in operational malls in Ahmedabad will restrict new malls from developing in the next 2 years," the report said.
According to the report, the mall vacancy in the city was 34% at the end of June, 2012; which had reduced over the previous quarter due to increased leasing activity in Vastrapur and Maninagar.
"There is more than 20 lakh square feet retail mall space on SG Highway. But most malls are vacant and see dismal footfall as the residential density alongside the highway is much lower compared to areas like Gurukul and Vastrapur where malls in densely populated pockets are buzzing," said N K Patel, director of Real Estate Studies and Management Academy.
"On CG Road, 60 per cent of fresh retail supply in the last two years is vacant. But for Prahladnagar and Maninagar retail space is bustling around active residential development," Patel added. However, realtors feel that the high investor influx in retail space on SG Highway has bombed.

Russia may have about 10 million metric tons of wheat available for export in the 2013-14 marketing year, based on expected production, usage and rebuilding of stocks, French farm adviser Agritel said.
Wheat typically accounts for no more than 55 percent of Russia's grain harvest, and a government forecast for a grain crop of 90 million to 92 million tons makes it difficult to expect a wheat harvest significantly above 50 million tons, the Paris-based company wrote in a market comment on its website today.
Russia's wheat exports may climb to 15 million tons from 10.5 million tons, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service. Domestic consumption of 37.5 million tons and a government move to rebuild intervention stocks will limit the exportable surplus, according to Agritel.
"This consideration will encourage Russian exporters to be very active at the start of the campaign," Agritel wrote. "Exporters will offer farmers better prices than those offered by the authorities in the context of the rebuilding of the strategic stocks."

Nov. 25 (Bloomberg) -- China's soybean imports, the world's biggest, may decline in the year through Dec. 31 as losses from processing the oilseed discourage additional purchases, Shanghai JC Intelligence Co. said.
Imports in November and December may be 5 million metric tons and 5.4 million tons, respectively, Monica Tu, analyst at Shanghai JC Intelligence Co. said Nov. 23. That would make this year's total 52.4 million tons, less than last year's 54.8 million tons and mark a first decrease since at least 2004, according to Bloomberg calculations based on available customs data.
Reduced demand for soybean oil and smaller inventory of hogs in China have hurt prices of processed soybean products, making returns on crushing a net loss as much as $57 per ton this month, Shanghai JC's data show. China's smaller demand helped contribute to a 20 percent loss in the oilseed this year.
"The market has little interest in more purchases" given the current pricing, Tu said by phone from Shanghai, maintaining a forecast for imports of the 2011-2012 marketing year that began Oct. 1 at 56.5 million tons, which is the same as estimated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Other than those shipments already booked, crushers have little incentive to make spot purchases, Tu said.
By comparison, in a Nov. 13 agricultural forum in Guangzhou, traders including James Zhou of Cargill Investment (China) Ltd. and Larry Li of Noble Group Ltd. forecast 58 million tons and 61 million tons, according to a transcript of the speeches posted on the Dalian Commodity Exchange.
"Those traders make estimates assuming the government will again buy a few million tons of domestic crops, in effect taking out local supply and boosting the need for imports," Tu said. "But the government hasn't announced its plan and I'm skeptical they will buy much given their strict quality standards."
State reserves still have 4 million to 5 million tons of domestic beans harvested in 2008, and they have to be sold in the first half next year, which may counter any bullish effects from stockpiling, Tu said.

My trusted Pal Jazzy is a nearly 17 year old Border Collie/Blue Heeler cross, who lost hind a leg to a blood clot nearly 5 years ago She's still going strong, but I don't think she has a lot of years left in her. I am thinking of naming my "brewery" Three Legged Hound Brewing" in her honour. I would of course use her image on the labels, and name different beers after a similar theme, like "Black Dog Stout", Or "Barking Dog Red Ale" etc. What says you?
That sounds awesome, I was thinking of something similar, but I haven't been that creative lately
I love themed beers, and you can't go wrong by combining mans two best friends... dogs and beer.
Hmmm, Black Dog Stout, that sounds like an awesome beer name. Honoring your furry friend like that is great idea, kind of makes me want to make a beer in memory of my terrier that passed away this sumer.
Tis an excellent idea, neighbour. I look forward to looking over the fence and seeing the Three Legged Hound sign proudly displayed. But in Aussie tradition... the Red Ale would have to be called "Barking Bluey" Mmmm... my hops are almost done... time to mix up my brew!

Andrew Wood.
ENGINEERING company WorleyParsons has signalled the end of an era, with long-serving chief executive John Grill stepping down after more than 40 years at the company.
Mr Grill, who joined WorleyParsons in 1971 and oversaw its growth from a private domestic engineering firm to a publicly listed company with more than 40,000 employees in 44 countries, will resign at the company's annual meeting in October.
He will be replaced by Andrew Wood, the group's managing director for finance, ending years of succession planning that ramped up with a management reshuffle in March last year.
At that time, Mr Grill, whose wealth is estimated by BRW at $780 million, had expressed his desire to continue as chief executive for ''the next few years'', but told reporters yesterday that another busy year of travel around the world had changed his mind.
''I'd like to calm my life down a bit,'' he said. ''My golf needs a lot of attention.''
But Mr Grill, 66, will take up the role of chairman when he steps down as chief executive. Ron McNeilly will make way to become his deputy.
Corporate governance expert Dean Paatsch, of Ownership Matters, said ordinarily it was not good governance to appoint a former chief executive to the board who was likely to ''second-guess'' their successor. But he said Mr Grill was known for his inclusiveness and was likely to have full support from the board.
''The issue with WorleyParsons is that it has just been a staggeringly successful company, and the culture has been set really from the top by John Grill,'' Mr Paatsch said.
Mr Wood, who has been with WorleyParsons for 18 years, said he would not be signalling any major strategic shifts.
But he said the cost of doing work in Australia was ''becoming less internationally competitive'' and that, as has been the case for a number of years, he would concentrate on winning work in developing markets.
''Our strategy has always been about being geographically diverse, and also developing our skill set in all sectors that we work in,'' Mr Wood, 52, said.
As chairman, Mr Grill said he would focus more on the ''international aspects'' of the business.
He said about 75 per cent of Worley's employees were based offshore.
''This trend, percentage-wise, will increase,'' he said.
WorleyParsons closed 49¢ lower at $24.95.

So glad I found this thread...I have been kicking around a pumkin pie recipe recelntly and would like for it to be ready around thanksgiving...so this thread kicked me into gear...hopefully brew by labor day!! If I can get one like Jacks Pumpkin Spice I will be exstatic!!
Ok, I went shopping yesterday. I already had the spices but also picked up some "Pumpkin Pie Spice" which seems to be just a combination of the spices. However, I didn't see any canned pumpkin. The only canned pumpkin was pumpkin pie filling which is already processed and spiced. What do you all think is the best way to use this into the boil?
Mash it! Do a partial mash instead of a grain steep.
I'm definitely brewing this Aug 30th. Do you think i should include pumpkin weight in my water calcs for mash of 1.25qt/lb? Here's my recipe: Definitely going to give this a try. I plan to add pumpkin to the mash after baking, spice additions at 5 mins. Here is what a 5.5G batch is looking like: Amount Item Type % or IBU 8.5 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 71.2 % 2 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 16.9 % 1 lb Biscuit Malt (23.0 SRM) Grain 8.5 % 0.5 lb Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM) Grain 3.4 % 1 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00%] (60 min) Hops 13.4 IBU 0.75 tsp Ginger Root (Boil 5.0 min) Misc 0.75 tsp Cloves (Boil 5.0 min) Misc 1.25 tsp Nutmeg (Boil 5.0 min) Misc 1.25 tsp Allspice (Boil 5.0 min) Misc 1.75 tsp Cinnamon Ground (Boil 5.0 min) Misc 66.00 oz Pumpkin (Mash 90.0 min)
I usually mash at about 1.5qt/lb, but went a tad thinner for this batch. It took some serious stirring, but eventually the pumpkin clumps pretty much dissolved in the thin mash. Make sure you strike a little high to account for the extra stirring, or have some boiling water ready to raise the mash back up if you need to. The only real difference I noticed was a slower runoff, with first runnings being slower than both subsequent batch sparge runoffs. Use rice hulls and you should be fine.
Tomorrow's the big day. Gonna brew up my pumpkin ale. A bit late in the year but it's a relatively low gravity beer so should age quickly. I've got a good feeling about this one. Someone should really throw a pumpkin beer competition. I had to stop by three grocery stores today before I could find some libby's pumpkin. The other two stores only had the pumpkin pie mix. I'm thinking I'll go with powdered ginger instead of the fresh ginger as I originally stated. The reason being that I find fresh ginger is a bit more sharp and pungent, which may not work as well in this recipe. I'm also second guessing my decision to mash at 150. I might go 152 or 154 in order to get a bit more body out of the beer. I don't want it to be too thin, but I'd also like it to be relatively dry and easy to drink. It's going to come down to a little bit of luck to get the right sweet/dry balance. I think a bit of sweetness is needed to round the spices and pumpkin out but with the low hopping, it needs to finish dry enough to not be cloying. Finding the right balance is going to come down to a bit of luck I think. Anyway, I'm gonna get everything ready to go tonight so that tomorrow I can roast the pumpkin and get started first thing. Hitting the mash temp with the hot pumpkin in there will be a bit of a challenge. I'm definitely going to condition the malt before crushing in order to get more intact hulls. I'm also gonna add some rice hulls to the mash in order to prevent any sticking. I've got a full pound of the hulls but still haven't decided how much of them I'll use. OK, enough of my stream-of-consciousness writing. I'll update with pictures and info tomorrow.
I'm too lazy and have too many beers going to keep updating this!
Good luck! I'm doing mine as well, heres to it going easy and no stuck sparges

Hello all. Newly registered and this is my first post.
I went through a few similar posts going back as far as 07 but didnt find the info I needed. Within the last few days my front yard has begun being overrun by a small green plant with thin stems and white flowers. Its actually quite pretty now but I cant seem to identify it. I couldnt figure out how to upload to the site yet so I am including flicker links: So far the candidates I have found are purslane or chickweed. I'm trying to get away from having a lawn at all, so if this if this would be suitable as ground cover and stay relatively pretty like it is, I may let it take over. The very strange thing is no one else has even a single plant that I can see sprouting in their yards. If anyone can help me identify it I would greatly appreciate it. TIA -bill |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Bill. It appears to be mouse ear chickweed. The photos are a little difficult to see the details of the plant growth, but that is what it appears to be. Mouse ear spreads by seed fairly close to the original plant. It also spreads a little bit by shallow root. Most likely the reason your neighbors don't have an abundance is lawn treatment and healthier turf. It is a fairly pretty "weed" in the spring and fall but will look ratty in the summer. If you aren't one for chemical treatment of your lawn *applause* then it will, most likely continue to seed itself and thrive. If you are looking to get away from lawn turf, I would suggest white clover. Clover will draw beneficial bees and insects to your landscape, flower prolifically, fixes nitrogen, stays green even when your neighbor's chemically treated lawns are dead from drought and heat, and requires minimal mowing. Just be aware that bare feet on clover means bee stings are possible! Go to a local Garden Center that carries clover seed and talk to them about what you would like to see as a lawn. Robbie |
Here is a link that might be useful: White Clover
Robbie's advice still applies, but I think the weed you are looking at is bittercress. Give it a google |
Yes, it's bitter cress. You can identify it by it's seed heads...sort of threadlike, but when ripe they will shoot seeds a long way. I just pulled it from 4 garden plots out of self preservation in our Community Garden. |

The story of Tory MP Sir Peter Viggers and the £1,645 duck house he claimed on his MP's expenses proved all too much for Evan Davis on BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning. "Ridiculous," said Davis, who suffered a terminal fit of the giggles midway through the newspaper review. So much so that he wanted to ditch the duck story and move on to the next one. Co-presenter Sarah Montague was having none of it. "Evan, just shush," she told him. "It's serious stuff." Except by then poor Davis had completely lost it, joining a distinguished cast of BBC radio corpsers including his Today colleague Charlotte Green, the Radio 2 newsreader John Marsh and most famously of all, Brian Johnston and Jonathan Agnew on Test Match Special.

Military families dealing with the stress of war, deployments and downsizing can add healthcare uncertainty to that list. The recent reports that an Arizona VA hospital ignored mandates to prioritize new or injured veterans is another blow… but unfortunately not an unexpected one.
"This is nothing new," said Association Executive Director Joyce Raezer. "Military families see the VA as a huge, dysfunctional bureaucracy, and the VA has certainly lived up to its reputation here."
The VA's focus has always been on older veterans… those who served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. There's now growing concern that they're not prepared to handle all of the service members who will soon be transitioning (not always by choice) out of the military.
Will the VA understand their needs? Will the bureaucracy be able to handle those needs? How does the VA support veterans' families as part of a veteran's care?
"We are looking for as smooth a transition as possible, and there's a lot of work that needs to be done on the smooth transition," said Raezer.
The VA was the only federal agency exempt from sequestration and budget cuts. In fact, their budget has grown. So why aren't veterans getting the care they were promised and that they've earned? Why aren't we using all of our nation's resources to get veterans the care they need when they need it?
"It's a much bigger issue than cooking the books," said Raezer. "We're talking about care for decades to come."
Reports state that dozens of veterans died while awaiting medical care at VA hospitals in Phoenix. The staff is accused of keeping two sets of records to conceal prolonged waits for appointments.
Tell us what you think!
Until military families are relieved of the weight of war, we hope you will continue to contribute to their wellbeing.

I created a *.iam file. And from this asembly file, I need run some rules in *.ipt file.
I use
Parameter("PartA:1", "d12") = d12
to give d12 parameter in my assembly to d12 parameter in *.ipt. It works.
But I need get parameter in the *.ipt file after running the rules in *.ipt.
so, I put
d13 = Parameter("PartA:1", "d13")
following above line.
But everytime, I just be able to get the result before *.ipt run the rules, not after.
I noticed the rules in assembly were compeletely run, then run the rules in *.ipt. So, the result is not correct.
Could somebody help to solved this issue?
I am using Inventor 2009 with ilogic. XP OS.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by zdhrichard. See the answer in context.
Finally, I found the reason and solution.
Original code, I used 7
Parameter("PartA:1", "d12") = d12
to transfer information.
This may cause the trouble.
Now, I combined this 7 parameter together to transfer information, it works fine now.
Sometimes, solution is so simple.
And I do not know whether new version could use many parameter to transfer information.
Solved! by zdhrichard. See the answer in context.
I found the real solution is I have to check "Fire Dependent rules immediately" option. Otherwise, it does not update
From what I can tell you are trying to pull d13 back from your part into your assembly after the part updates. In that case all your code should be in the assembly, not the part file, just like the below.
Parameter("PartA:1", "d12") = d12 d13 = Parameter("PartA:1", "d13")
Works for me if I make d13 in the part a function of d12, it then updates the d13 in the assembly to match after the part is updated.
Sorry, I made a mistake in my description. In fact, what I used for second line is as following:
d13 = iProperties.MaterialOfComponent("PartA:1")
d14 = iProperties.Value ("PartA:1", "Summary", "Title")
and so on.
I cannot get correct updated d13 & d14.
And I just testes, even I use
d13 = Parameter("PartA:1", "d13")
I cannot get the updated value.
2013. Try add the below after the first line of code. I don't have access to 2009 so I can't test it.
I tried, it does not work too.
In fact, I tried
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone= True
and so on, still does not work.
Maybe it is a bug in 2009.
Possibly, 2009 was pretty basic, a lot has changed since then with iLogic. Maybe an iLogic guru will comment.
Why are you on such old software anyway? Multi-body was introduced in 2010, among other enhancements since then that would easily enhance your productivity way more than the cost of the software.
For software, it is decided by IT department of company.
In fact, we plan to update to latest version of Inventor and Vault. Even we got all software and new computer, but it looks like there are some trouble to move everything from 2009 (32 bits) to 2013 (64 bits), especially for Vault.
Out IT is still test them before we could use it.
We tried move Vault to 2010 one month ago, our database is crashed which made use cannot work for almost one week.
Still, there are some issue did not fixed by AutoDesk for move 2009 (32 bits) to 2013 (64 bits) Inventor and Vault.
Engineering software decisions should always be dictated by the engineering department, period. It is the responsibility of the IT department to handle deployment only. If engineering management hasn't already changed these systems then I would look for a new job - easier than fighting the system.
Other companies have managed to migrate to the new software, have you opened up a supprt request with Autodesk on this matter?
Thanks lot for your words, Stew. You have very good point.
As I mentioned, we got all softwares and new computers.
Vault has trouble to move date from 32 bits to 64 bits so far. Even Autodesk, cannot help us fix this issue yet.
And besides Inventor, we need use other software which is built on Inventor, if moving to latest of Inventor, that software does not work.
Eveything is not so easy. If we just think our engineering, everything will be mess up as we tried move to 2010 Vault but we almost lost all of our date. Just one version different, no more than say from 2009 to 2012 or 2013.
New software is good, but you need think whether it is compateible with other softwares. Before you use it, you need lot of testing.
I understand our IT department.
Finally, I found the reason and solution.
Original code, I used 7
Parameter("PartA:1", "d12") = d12
to transfer information.
This may cause the trouble.
Now, I combined this 7 parameter together to transfer information, it works fine now.
Sometimes, solution is so simple.
And I do not know whether new version could use many parameter to transfer information.

Inaugural Kathleen O'Connor Lectures
Date: 2/3/2015 - 2/4/2015
Distinguished scholar Dr. Louis Stulman, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Findlay, OH will present the first Kathleen O'Connor Lectures at Columbia Theological Seminary on February 3-4, 2015. Dr. Stulman's first lecture is titled "The Scandal of the Prophets: Language of Trauma and War" and will be held at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, February 3 in the Harrington Center Chapel with a reception following. The second lecture is titled "Healing the Wounds of the World: The Promise of Prophetic Sign-Acts for Today" and will be held at 12:00 noon, Wednesday, February 4, in the Harrington Center Chapel. The lectures will be offered free to the public each day on the seminary campus located at 701 S. Columbia Drive, Decatur, GA.
These lectures honor the many contributions Kathleen M. O'Connor, William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary, has made to biblical scholarship for the sake of the world. For nearly three decades, first at Maryknoll School of Theology in Maryknoll, NY (1982-1994) and then at Columbia (1995-2010), Prof. O'Connor has modeled close reading of the biblical text, rigorous engagement of the text in light of intercultural, ecumenical, and interdisciplinary conversations, and the articulation of compelling, fresh claims for the relevance and power of the text and its interpretation for present-day realities. For students and colleagues around the world, Prof. O'Connor exemplifies first-rate biblical scholarship that is spiritually significant and globally aware.
Dr. Louis Stulman earned his M.Phil. and Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible from Drew University and has done post-doctoral work at the University of Michigan. Dr. Stulman's research interests focus on the Hebrew Bible and the Prophets in particular. He has written and edited numerous books, including The Prose Sermons of Jeremiah, Order Amid Chaos, Troubling Jeremiah, Abingdon Old Testament Commentary on Jeremiah, and You are My People: An Introduction to Prophetic Literature. Professor Stulman's awards for teaching include the "Outstanding Educator," "Founder's Academic Excellence Award for Faculty," and "Excellence in Education" (Ohio Magazine).
Colloquium 2014: The Church Facing the Future: Memory, Hope, and Obedience
Date: 4/20/2015 - 4/22/2015
Columbia Theological Seminary announced the speakers for its Colloquium 2015 to be held on April 20–22. Titled "The Church Facing the Future: Memory, Hope, and Obedience," it will feature a lineup of some of its most well-known and well-loved faculty emeriti. The annual event will provide both clergy and laypersons with relevant reflection on God's mission in the world today.
Walter Brueggemann, the William Marcellus McPheeters Professor Emeritus of Old Testament and a prolific author of such books as The Prophetic Imagination and Truth Speaks to Power, will lead off with his new presentation, "Remembering and the Temptation to Amnesia" to be followed later in the event by "Remembering and the Temptation to Nostalgia." Brueggemann is widely considered to be one of the most influential Old Testament scholars of the last several decades.
Other top scholars will discuss what God has done, is doing, and will do at the seminary:
- Erskine Clarke, Professor Emeritus of American Religious History and best known for his books Dwelling Place and By the Rivers of Water, will speak on "Columbia Theological Seminary: A Story of Memory and Hope."
- Catherine Gunsalus González, Professor Emerita of Church History and the first woman to preach on The Protestant Hour(now called Day1), will ask "What Is God Up To Now?"
- Justo González, a leading voice in the growing field of Hispanic theology and renowned for his work The Story of Christianity, will address the topic "Remember the Future."
William Yoo, the seminary's new Assistant Professor of American Religious and Cultural History, will be part of a panel with other Columbia Seminary faculty and local church leaders representing a diversity of generational and ethnic perspectives.
"With transitions taking place here at the seminary, in the church, and around the world," stated Randy Calvo, director of Alumni/ae and Church Relations, "remembering is a critical discipline in identifying where we are in the present and where God may lead in the future. We may be tempted to live in the past, or to leave it all behind. At Colloquium 2015, we will explore where past, present and future are inter-related and mutually informative."
Columbia Theological Seminary is committed to "educating imaginative, resilient leaders for God's changing world." As an educational institution of the Presbyterian Church (USA), Columbia is a community of theological inquiry and formation for ministry in the service of the Church of Jesus Christ. Columbia offers seven graduate degree programs and dozens of courses and events as a resource for church professionals and lay people through the Center for Lifelong Learning.

Preaching the Verbs - A New Approach to Preaching
Date: 5/4/2015 - 5/6/2015
If you do a quick survey of any Bible passage, you'll find that the verbs dominate. It's what we do and don't do that preoccupies human beings. And it's the verbs we cannot imagine for ourselves (live, liberate, forgive, resurrect) that the church offers, and that we reach for, week after week. Dr. Anna Carter Florence puts a twist on dramatic theory and invites us to read the biblical "script" by focusing on the verbs that are given and chosen by the characters. What new things will we see and hear in both our sacred text and our human drama when we connect the verbs? How can that, in turn, change and renew our preaching?
Instructors: Dr. Anna Carter Florence, John Marshall, Associate Professor of Preaching at Columbia Theological Seminary, assisted by Rev. Khalia Williams, Chapel Coordinator and Adjunct Professor of Worship and Preaching.
Want to stay for an entire week for independent study/worship planning? See extended stay housing option, or indicate on registration form number of additional nights (departure Friday, May 8).

Cycling to campus
One of the cheapest ways to travel to Uni is by cycling, and it has the added bonus of boosting your fitness at the same time. If you live in the city, it's a comfortable 14 – 16km trip via two routes to our Callaghan campus. Should you cycle at a leisurely pace, this will get you here in under an hour, but, if you're a committed cyclist cycling to uni can take less than 30 minutes from the city. (That's faster than the bus!)
Cycling has a range of benefits:
- it's free
- parking's easy
- it improves your physical and mental health and fitness
- it's fun!
If you're after an easy trip to Callaghan campus, through quiet backstreets, follow these two routes provided by Cycleways Newcastle.
If you're cycling to our city campus, follow these maps.
On the Central Coast here's the way you'll want to ride.
Even though you're cycling, you still need to follow the road rules when you're riding. Try these tips to stay safe:
- stick to cycle lanes or the far left of the road (looking out for car doors opening) use hand signals to indicate when you're turning
- wear brightly coloured or reflective gear when cycling to stay visible
- ensure your lights and reflectors are in good working order for when you have to ride in low light or low visibility periods.
Bike Hubs at Callaghan campus
Take advantage of the newest addition to Callaghan Campus: Bike Hubs. These hubs include:
- secure bike storage
- secure lockers for cycling equipment
- shower facilities
- mechanic shop/workspace.
If they're proven a success (and why wouldn't they be?) there are plans to construct these hubs in other campuses such as the NeW Space City Campus and Central Coast. The Cycle Hubs are partially funded by SSAF.
The University of Newcastle Bicycle User Group (NuBUG) is a cycling advocacy group for staff and students, which promotes cycling for fun, camaraderie, sport and transport.
NUBUG also operates the BikeLoveCorral on Newcastle campus at Callaghan which provides:
- bike hire (bike library)
- bike repairs and checks
- bike repair workshops
Bike Love Corral is now housed at the rear of the Bike Hub East in the Cycling Hubs. (From the Bike Hub East entrance walk around the hub to the car park side and you will see the BLC.)
Shared path etiquette
The newly updated UON paths are shared pathways. Follow our etiquette tips so everyone can enjoy getting around our campuses.
- Stick to the left of the path.
- Travel at a safe speed and give way to others.
- When riding a bike, use your warning bell when overtaking pedestrians.

Connecticut Senate Grants Approval To Bill That Allows Use Of Medical Marijuana
The measure passed the state's Senate, 21-to-13, after nearly 10 hours of debate. It now goes to Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who said in a statement that he plans to sign the bill into law.
Hearing Today On Whether To Bring Tolls Back To Connecticut
It's been years since there were tolls in Connecticut, but today there is a public hearing about bringing them back.
